Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is the answer when your children ask about the Emirates. It holds Ferrari World (2010) and Formula Rossa, a roller coaster that reaches 240 km/h, Yas Waterworld (2013) with more than 40 rides and slides, Warner Bros. World (2018), and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi (2023), the first SeaWorld outside the United States.

We book tickets ahead, with fast-track entry and a car between the parks, and a day on Yas pairs well with a day on Saadiyat.
